Bandai's 1/12 model kits for Rogue One look insanely cool. Very glad I skipped the Hasbro Death Trooper and K2S0 as I was very tempted... but knowing they're doing the model kits? I'm in!
The troopers include the necessities to make officers, grunts, squad leaders... Lots of hardware too.
Also they're doing Striker and U-Wing models. Looks like the small models of these ships also include the hovertank as a mini-kit or base of some sort kind of like the ships coming with Death Star tiles.

While they're usually easy snap-together builds, and nothing you have to go bonkers with, the more complex deco characters like Boba Fett tend to look a tad too clean and benefit greatly from a good painter. A figure like a Stormtrooper or Death Trooper appear to just look great out of the gate, as does the Shoretrooper. Their astromechs are, IMHO, unmatched in the scale... for poseability/articulation, accessories, customizability, features (opening panels, etc.), and more.
These are a good way to get into models for kids too. I don't find them to be something an 8-10 year old couldn't handle without a little help/supervision from the big kid in the house.
